Voting in the November 6 Elections: Vote Early!

Below are some tips on how to be an effective and knowledgeable voter without exhausting yourself. As many of you know, I’m a deputy voter registrar (which means I can register people to vote in Harris County) and I encourage everyone who is able to get out and vote early and often.*

Coming up we have a midterm election on November 6, 2018, and there are many important items on the ballot. A few that I’ve been thinking about:

City of Houston Proposition B: pay parity between firefighters and police. For: firefighters get a much-needed raise of ~20% adding ~$100M in costs which will likely mean cuts in police, municipal, and fire. Against: firefighters only get a 9.5% raise. If you vote straight ticket you also need to vote separately for propositions.
